Happy Wednesday! So far, we have read five parables 1) the sower, 2) the wheat and the weeds, 3) the mustard seed, 4) the yeast and 5) the hidden treasure. Today we will read the parable of the pearl. Enjoy today’s devotion. 

BIBLE VERSE – Matthew 13:45-46 NLT
“⁴⁵ “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. ⁴⁶ When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!”

REFLECTION
Christ gave His life to provide redemption for the church.

This parable is a powerful picture of Jesus’ redemption power. Jesus is the merchant and we are the choice pearls. Jesus came to earth to save you and me. He gave everything on the cross when he bore our sins so that we could be forgiven, set free and saved. Therefore, making a way for all who believe. If we believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, and on the third day he rose from the grave gaining victory over sin and death, and through our acceptance, belief and receiving Him as our Lord and Savior we have eternal life.

PRAYER
Father God, thank you for sending your son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. Lord, we didn’t deserve a Savior but you loved us so much that you sent your only Son to save us. Lord, He paid a debt He did not owe, but His love for us changed our trajectory – we deserve hell, but you offer us eternal life. Lord Jesus, thank you for loving us. Lord, forgive us of our sins and continue to work in our hearts and change us to be more like you. Lord, may your words penetrate our hearts and pour out of our tongues – so that others will see you in us. Lord, equip us and direct our steps in the name of Jesus. Lord, restore our hope and give us new life – renew us daily. Lord, thank you for answered prayers and Lord, thank you for an opportunity to continue to pray to you for the healing of the sick, restoration for the lost, renewal of relationships, and the opening of eyes that are closed and bringing hearing to the ears of the deaf. We continue in prayer for all these things in Jesus name, amen!
